CPL Security policy templates enable any organization to quickly develop information security policies that are both practical and enforceable.

Why a “common” approach to security policy?

Many organizations struggle to rationalize the complex requirements of various compliance frameworks such as ISO 27002, PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HiTECH, NIST and NERC-CIP. In truth, however, most of these frameworks prescribe a common set of information security controls that would apply to any business. We have taken these requirements and distilled them into a single outline that can be adopted easily. The CPL framework is backed by pre-written information security policies covering every topic.
